Taking flight....

Gosh, I am not going to lament yet again about not writing for a while, but now will accept that it is difficult to write and that I will just have to try my best and do it when I can. Many days ago (while on a trip to Germany), I counted how many flights I have been on, and while it does not compare in any way to the business travellers that we have these days, it is still a respectable number (I think). I have written once before on this, when it was a decade of flying. My coming back to this should tell you that I am fond of it, and would really love to see as much of the world as I can (I still have a very long way to go). So here is a list (this includes all take-offs, so a certain trip can have 2 or 3, depending on connections):

1996 - 6 (India-US-India)
1997 - 0
1998 - 5 (India-US-India)
1999 - 8 (India-US, Chicago, Milwaukee)
2000 - 8 (India, LA)
2001 - 19 (India, San Francisco, Colorado, Portland, Chicago)
2002 - 22 (India, Japan, Colorado, Texas (2), Indianapolis)
2003 - 10 (Phoenix, Miami, LA, New Orleans)
2004 - 1 (back from New Orleans)
2005 - 12 (Atlanta, India, Norway, Spain)
2006 - 32 (Oslo (2), Orlando, Baltimore, Germany (2), Stockholm, Gothenburg, Paris, Belfast, London, Copenhagen, India)
2007 - 2 (Back from India)
